Meal prep Sundayyyy! ๐
Starting back to basics!
If youโve seen my latest post, youโd know I put myself into a deficit 4 weeks ago to shift the last 5kg. Letโs just say it didnโt go to plan. Influenza a tore through our house and all 3 kids got sick (of course not at once, but one after another). No one slept for weeks, stress was high, movement was minimal, no gym, I had one of busiest weeks of work while taking care of sick kiddies at home, neeeeedless to sayโฆ I have not progressed with my goals since.
To be honest, Iโm struggling to pick back up since my momentum has been broken. There is no shame in this, Iโm a mum, a business owner, a human.. sometimes life just happens. I know Iโm not alone in feeling how hard it can be to try and pick yourself back up when momentum has been broken.
But often where we fail is trying to get back to where we left off, immediately. This sets us up for failure. To get your momentum back, strip it back. Focus on basics. Focus on nailing those basics. When you doโฆ add in your more hyper specific non-negotiable and goals. So this is where Iโm at now! Itโll be so much easier to find your rhythm again.
Back to basics! Main focuses this week is 80-90% whole foods, protein at every meal, 2-3 litres of water, one outdoor walk every day (5 min or 1hr I donโt care), heavy focus on sleep, aim for 3 gym sessions (although Iโm happy with 1-2). All achievable. Letโs get back ๐๐
